3-Day Floristry Career Starter Course

Our 3-Day Floristry Course is perfect for those who want to deepen their skills and spend three inspiring days surrounded by flowers. Whether you’re exploring floristry as a future career or simply want to immerse yourself in seasonal, natural design, you’ll learn a beautiful range of techniques in our welcoming De Beauvoir studio — using generous buckets of seasonal blooms.

Over the three days, you’ll build confidence, experiment with scale, and create designs you’ll be proud to photograph and take home.

We’ll start with a warm welcome and a relaxed chat about the world of floristry — from working with the seasons to sourcing beautiful British blooms. You’ll learn about colour, shape and selecting flowers with confidence, before we show you how to condition your stems for freshness and longevity. Then we’ll demonstrate our signature hand-tied bouquet, sharing all our tips for creating that natural, garden-inspired look. After that, it’s your turn to create your own bouquet, which we’ll help you wrap and package beautifully to take home.

Today is all about designing for the table. We’ll introduce you to sustainable, foam-free mechanics and explore different vessels, table shapes and design principles. You’ll create your own table arrangement using a generous selection of seasonal flowers, and in the afternoon we’ll guide you through simple styling and photography techniques so you can capture your work at its best.

We begin with a demonstration of a large, loose urn arrangement — full of movement, texture and that wild, natural Flower Appreciation Society style. You’ll then create your own statement urn using chicken wire and sustainable methods. In the afternoon, we’ll work together as a group to build a beautiful foam-free installation. It’s a wonderful chance to experience collaborative floral design and create something truly show-stopping.
We’ll finish the day gathering lots of flowers for you to take home and a celebratory glass of fizz.
